Design Structure Matrix Approach Applied to Lunar Habitat Design

Lunar habitat design is a complex endeavor characterized by complicated task-composition, numerous internal iterations, and intense task-coupling. The process of assembled building in terrestrial construction the system composition lunar habitats have been constructed. However, there insufficient experience to fully understand missions likewise coordination between architects various disciplines. task flow for sequencing optimization can be determined using structure matrix (DSM), which widely used engineering. DSM reveal necessary interfaces within as per relevant interface variables processes. By decomposing process, an initial activity-based established present study. Informational interactions each its respective intensity are statistically investigated clarify them across four dimensions energy, space, materials, information. A algorithm applied optimize process. Finally, 20 tasks clarified among phases: Pre-planning, spatial design, environmental optimization. Related disciplines should coordinate according results, use optimized coupling relationship build requirement model orderly manner improve efficiency.
